Damp Proofing Specialist in Newbury

Dealing with a damp problem in your home? Tapco Homedry offers a comprehensive service that will allow you to identify the cause of your damp problem, take steps to put it right, and then ensure the damp problem doesn’t return. While you may be able to address the cosmetic issues of damp on your own, this is only a temporary fix, and the underlying damp problem will continue to plague your property.

Damp is an all-too-common problem throughout the UK thanks to the high rainfall and humid conditions. While damp proofing is a requirement in all new build properties (and has been for a long time) these measures are known to fail over time. This can lead to a cascade of issues, including damp conditions, mould and even cavity wall tie failure. To help homeowners fight back, we provide comprehensive damp proofing in Newbury for a competitive cost.

What is damp proofing?

Damp proofing is the process of protecting a structure from water ingress. This is commonly done during the construction process through the use of cavity walls and damp proof courses. A cavity wall is a secondary wall that separates the inner wall from the outside. A damp proof course is a chemical treatment that creates a waterproof barrier to provide further protection.

Other damp proofing methods include the use of physical membranes and basement tanking. The method that is most suitable for you will depend on if you are extending or converting your home, or if you have a failed damp proof course that needs to be replaced. We will carry out an extensive survey to help you understand the source of your damp problem and then provide recommendations to help.

How do I go about spotting the signs of damp?

Early intervention is crucial to preventing the build up of damp, and this often means learning how to spot the signs of damp before the problem spreads. When left to develop, damp can make a home very uncomfortable and even unsafe to live in due to the risk posed by mould spores. Here are some of the common signs of damp:

  • Discolouration on walls, floors and ceilings
  • Peeling wallpaper or flaking paint
  • Warped floorboards, skirting boards and window sills
  • A mouldy or musty smell
  • Moisture and mould patches on walls
  • A powdery white deposit on surfaces

If you spot any of these signs of damp, get in touch with our team to arrange your home survey.
